Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Francisco Calvo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 25' - Oscar Duarte has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 27 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 35' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 41' - Costa Rica receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 41.
  • 42' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Miki Yamane. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Ayase Ueda leaves to be changed by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
